The thing is. Snaps isn’t the first controversy.

Canonical, with Ubuntu early on was helping drive things forward, but they reached a point where they started to do things their own way with disregard to the broader ecosystem.

Each time they did this, they cause fragmentation, struggled, and then deferred to the choice the rest of the ecosystem has. The problem with this is that they’re not sharing their effort, they’re just throwing it away.

They merely doubled down hard on snaps which is the latest controversy.

Snaps have their own advantages, but Canonical owns the store. Which becomes its own stalewort

😅 Sorry, my intention was to compare the value compared to the value of a Panels subscription

I’m in the middle of a play-through right now.

Is this going to boot me? Can I block the game from being upgraded? Or is remastered a new SKU?

I wanted to like Steep but the Controller experience, even on the Steam deck is so horrible I didn’t last a full hour

Steam does good by the customer. No one else does. Only when they are customer first will they make a dent in Steam sales.

That’s half the reason I don’t buy Ubisoft games. The other half is their launcher and DRM system.

But I need that to block the 15 bots that follow me each day

Looks a bit like Ryuk

I definitely encourage it!

It’s one of the most polished games I’ve played, that is currently in circulation, as of the 2.0 update. I think you will like it now if you previously were disappointed

Big if true! Thanks for sharing, I’ll keep an eye out. The closest thing I’ve seen is Halo Infinite making the highres textures a free dlc

Download game, enable offline mode on your steam deck for vacation.

Open game on the plane, in offline mode, get booted from game because you can’t log in.

Megaman battle network got me this way. Switched to emulator and played the same game before it was enshittified.

I honestly don’t understand why games don’t simply use something like Android does.

If I have a 720p monitor, download lower res assets and a smaller game. If I have a 4k monitor, download all the pixels and consume 100gb.

Idk Cyberpunk makes GTA look like a intern project.

This.

I follow code of ethics and raise concerns where applicable. But even if you refuse, they’ll just pick another development team out of their hats to implement anyway.

So many are afraid to lose their jobs now they will keep their heads down and do it anyway.

Yes!

90% of the games I buy now are couch coop. Was sad about Halo abandoning it.

Couch coop defined my view of what video games are.

I wish Google would just switch back to Qualcomm but keep Titan security chip. Best of both worlds now that Qualcomm has decent NPU onboard.

Its very bad when you have a predictive back enabled.

It’ll just skip the animation entirely. However you won’t go home until the animation “finishes” so it just freezes for a second

Yep! This and the LASIK scene still haunt me

Its been doing that for years for me, even as a day 1 premium subscriber.

I have to manually select 1080p every single video
